Matchmaking in the Grand Arena

Now before people say "it's only by skill number", there still is the mystery of selecting 8 players with the same skill number to be grouped together.  It might be a legitimate ask to group those with the same skill number by GP.  

I agree the GA match making is terrible, and from most of the complaints that I've heard agree.  Very rarely will I find a opponent that is close to my gp in my bracket. When I do though those fights are more enjoyable, and close than that of 4 mill gp higher than me. Granted I don't always loose those fights, but they have more of a arsenal than me. I got 5 in this bracket that is 9mil vs my 5mil gp

Skill rating is more about participation I think. So if you’re facing off against much stronger players (me too), then it means that maybe you participate more in GAC or that you are outdoing your gp

In any case, this selection needs to be redone, right now it is very terrible

Sorry but they care as little about Grand arena matchmaking as they do about TW, or about the negative effects their garbage datacrons that are stupidly OP sometimes, mid other times have on players.  "Shut up and spend money"  That's their priority and focus.  (This is Galaxy of Datacrons now.)

They've had plenty of time to come up with ways to improve TW and GAC, but it's been years since they've done anything.  Don't expect any changes UNLESS they can figure out ways to monetize the idea.

Their "new content" for GAC and TW is datacrons, and that's it.  They should've talked updates by now, but they aren't.  Parts of TB are still wildly excessive to the point that R9 TANKS are getting one shot by basics of the AI waves, even with maxed out operations.  What's their response?  "Here are new planets for you to relic up characters for!" 

They aren't concerned because they don't need to be.  Their leadership hides behind the community managers and enjoys their paycheck regardless. 

I have complained about grand arena match making since they changed it from a completely logical GP based matchmaking system to what it is now. When grand arena first came out you fought only players with a GP rating similar to your own. Makes sense right? Well they didn't think so. So here we are still today with the great new system they changed it to. Absolute garbage. Going against players with a GP any where close to yours will rarely ever happen. And like others have said, they do not care. So now it's now left to, is this worth quitting over or can I live with it? Cause it won't be changed. 🤷

I have had - very painfully - all of my opponents have seemingly full relic rosters, two of them have multiple galactic legends while I have about 4 toons that are actually in relic range and a fair selection of XII-X graded toons.

There needs to be some sort of cut off where the game detects this sort of imbalance but it'd be very hard to do without returning to the old brackets and regenerating issues such as lower gp brackets placed vs max gp brackets etc
